Manitoba

A
When you mention Manitoba,
        D
I'll be mindful of the prairies,
       A                         
To the province where the old Red 
       E
River flows,
         A
It's the land of shining water,
          D
where the beaver and the otter,
       A                 E7    
Play to-gether where the Prairie 
         A
Crocus grows.
***Chorus
    D                A
Mani-toba, you're my sunshine,
Continues after the ad
   D               A
My twilight, and re-pose,
    D                A
Mani-toba, you're my heaven,
  D           A              
Be-cause it's heaven where the 
  E7             A
Prairie Crocus grows.
A
When you mention Manitoba,
        D
I'll be mindful of her beauty,
       A                           
In the evening when the sunset 
   E
fades a-way,
        A
And the moon of golden glimmer,
       D
on the wheat field seems to shimmer,
        A                    E7   
And the night bird sings the 
          A
closing of the day.
***Chorus
A                                  
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be 
D
mindful of the valleys,
        A                          
And the old brown hills calling me 
 E
a-way,
          A
Where the favours of our giver,
       D
dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers,
         A                E7      
From the U.S. line to the shores 
         A
of Hudson Bay.
***Chorus
